Suppressor Law

[Adam in WI]

If ATF is going to nit pick every damn little thing then someone needs to sue the DEA for lack of enforcement over states legalizing weed. There has to be an equal protections case in there somewhere.

I am not sure you're correct on that friend. I recall making arrest for short barreled shotguns back in the 80s. And the charges stuck like superglue. And I was just a local cop in a podunk Texas town. Has something changed?

I'll wager that it also violated Texas law. I don't know how things work in Texas, but in most free states, state prosecutors can't prosecute Federal law for lack of jurisdiction. They can refer it to the Feds if they so wish if it is also a violation of Federal law.

I just read today that a Tennessee court struck down the prohibition of short
barreled firearms but that the feds could still prosecute.
I think the answer lies with strong county sheriffs and state attorneys general going forward.
If a county sheriff deputizes everyone in their county maybe it would send a message.

Texas Silencer Law, NFA, No Commandeering, Commerce Clause, Test Case

Texas has eliminated the Texas ban on silencers. There is anti-commandeering clause, as well as the setup for a Federal test case on the commerce clause.

Everyone fighting these laws are going about it the wrong way. Fight the taxation of a right. How can you tax a RIGHT????? Imagine being taxed for voting, freedom of speech or any other. It is insane and not what the Founding Fathers would have wanted..

Once upon a time, there was a poll tax. I think it was a dollar or two. I think LBJ wiped it out with the Civil Rights act of 1964. Maybe sooner The poll tax existed long before the Civil War

Much like the affordable care act, we got stuck with Obama care BECAUSE it's a tax(otherwise unconstitutional) of course Obama said it's NOT a tax. Lied to about the NFA also, supposed to make us safer. Really just the opposite, used all the time to sell a loss of freedom to the citizens.
